Everyone could use a shooter. A lethal outside stroke alone could actually be enough to get you drafted or give you a career.

The following guys have established themselves as the sharpshooters in the 2014 NBA draft class. Whether their offensive games translate or not, they'll each have a jumper to hopefully lean on as a moneymaker.

Doug McDermott, Creighton, 6'8'', SF, Senior

You can question how well Doug McDermott's overall offensive game will translate, but there's no debating his outside stroke.

If he can sustain his current 42.7 percent clip, it would mark the fourth year he's finished over 40 percent from three. McDermott rarely ever has two bad shooting days in a row—he's been consistently scorching-hot season after season at Creighton.

His numbers were off the charts his sophomore and junior years, when he finished over 48 percent from downtown in each.

Off the catch, off the dribble, slipping off a screen, curling around one—McDermott can make outside shots from more angles than any player in the country.

He might not be the scorer at the pro level he is in college, but his NBA range and 64.8 percent true shooting percentage for his career can certainly be used in dozens of NBA lineups.

Nik Stauskas, Michigan, 6'6'', SG, Sophomore

Nik Stauskas has really expanded his offensive game, and it hasn't taken away from his shooting stroke and consistency.

After knocking down 44 percent of his threes as a freshman, he's currently connecting on 44.7 percent as a sophomore while making 2.5 a game.

Last year, most of Stauskas' threes came as a spot-up catch-and-shooter. This year, he's spending more time on the ball, where he's shown the ability to pull up or step back and release off the dribble.

Stauskas has gone from a stationary shooting target to one who can shoot on the move. And he's now a threat to use his accurate stroke in more offensive situations.

Free-throw shooting has also become a factor, as Stauskas' scoring threat increased from one year to the next. He's making 5.8 free throws a game at a lights-out 82.1 percent clip this season.

He's a more complete player than he was a year ago, and that's helped boost his stock tremendously, but at the end of the day, it's Stauskas' jumper that's going to carry him throughout his NBA career.

Rodney Hood, Duke, 6'8'', SF, Sophomore

He sports a high, smooth, lefty release, and he's got the size to shoot over the defense and make shots with hands in his face. When Hood's feet are set and squared to the rim, forget about it—he's one of those shooters who makes you think everything he lets go will fall.

Hood might not be the most explosive or athletic, but that refined, trustworthy jumper should allow him to thrive in a stretch role.

Think Rashard Lewis in his prime, when he used to light up the perimeter for Seattle and Orlando.

Jabari Brown, Missouri, 6'5'', SG, Junior

Jabari Brown has emerged as one of the most improved prospects in the country this season, and a lot of his success can be attributed to his scolding-hot jumper.

He's making just under three three-pointers a game at a 46.2 percent clip.

Brown has been remarkably consistent—he's finished above 35 percent from three in 17 of his 23 games played so far.

“Jabari’s playing at an unbelievable level and, knock on wood, because his numbers are ridiculous for a perimeter player what he's doing," said coach Frank Haith via Tod Palmer of The Kansas City Star.

Steve Walentik of the Columbia Daily Tribunedetailed Brown's progress over the years and his notable consistency as a junior.

Brown is averaging roughly 20 points a game this season, but it's that unstoppable jumper that's going to attract teams looking for a perimeter scorer and floor-stretcher.
